Then it costs monéy.” That depends. If a business firm have anything to say that is worth listening to the matter of cost is not worthy of consideration.

Unlike the arctic cxplorers, however, who have a number of roads open, by which to approach the pole, the chemist has only one route by which to reach the chilly destination he seeks, and that is by the liquefaction of all the gases ready been accomplished, but. the chemist in search of the zero tem- perature knows better. Though compressed hydrogen when expanded yiclds.a mist, the victory over this baffling element has not been achieved, and as the experiments in this direction are difficult and costly it seems proba. ble that the explorers will reach the north pole, by balloon or otherwise, long before the chemists reach their zeroic temperature, the temperature of celestial space. One practical re- sult the chemist names as a reason of his researches after the zero temperature is that should it ever be reached we could then complete- ly transform heat into mechanical power, whereas at present we suc- cced in getting only about 10 per cent so converted,—-Chicage Inte. rior. et se, Queen Louisa of Prussia and the Rose \him that he has put me under obli- t Before parting Napoleon spent a few moments at her side, and at the | end, turning, pulled from a bunch a beautiful rose, which he. offered with gestures of gallantry and hom- ago.

Chief Utan, the auburn haired crang outang at the zoo, is very su perstitious, and his convictions with regard to straws are not limited to the mere fact that they tell how the wind blows. The chief believes that chewing a straw with certain super- natural qualities will bring his din- ner hour around before 10’clock, the regular time, and he daily tries te | put this theory into practice. From |among the heaps of straw in his | sage he selects with great care the {.ongest and straighsest, and after |naving placed it in his mouth he goes to the glass frant of the cage and shading his eyes with his hand peers to the right and left in search of the keat the keeper is not in sight, the chief throws the straw away as not pos- sessing sufficient “eharm’’ and s¢- ‘lects another.

Black, red and yellew “‘helmets,’’ as the shells are called, are recuired, and they cost from $3 to $5 each, but from a good shell several ovals or rounds ean be cut. After it has been cut the required | sive and shape, it is then fixed with hot cement upon a holdor—a little block that can be held in the hand. The upper surface of the shell iy made sufficiently smooth to take the How Do You Think Your Name Ask Wou.d Look in this Space If youread this don’t you think other read- ers would read what you have to say? aud Business jor terms on th e a ALD. at A " 4 4 * ‘eee, ssa staren iS R.
